    Story Behind the Song
    This is a song about the standings of the church today. So often the American church tries to dress up God in an effort to make Him attractive to the world. In doing so, they lose the power of the Holy Spirit.

    Lyrics
    Great Commission
    By Melissa Snyder

    The burgundy sky fades to gray
    And I don’t know what to say
    I’ve been here before
    The words in my head
    Don’t make it to your ears
    Blocked behind the walls of my fears
    The truth that I hide
    Like firey embers
    To quench your anger
    And save your soul
    My head hung in shame
    Cause I let you go without
    Letting you know how to be complete

    I failed again
    At my one true mission
    To let go to you
    The truth in me
    Afraid my words
    Might scare you
    So I dress up the truth
    And I’m sorry

    It’s not about me
    And the things that I’ll store up
    To over flow my cup
    Of eternal blessing
    But more about you
    And the him you don’t know
    And the truth of letting go
    All yourself to him
    This is no promise
    Of wealth and fame
    But of sacrifice and taking up
    Your cross
    It’s not a life of smiles
    But a deep enduring peace
    And a life beyond these earthly years

    I failed again at my one true mission
    To let go to you the truth in me
    Afraid my words might fail you
    So I dress up the truth
    I’m sorry
